*** Lesson Details ***Music is a gift. My goal as a teacher is to share my knowledge of this gift with others, so that they too will have the ability to understand and enjoy the creation of music. Studying an instrument should be rewarding and I do my best to keep it a positive experience for my students. My method is versatile - custom fit for each individual who studies with me. It is my task as an educator to identify a student's dominant learning style and use this information to engage him/her in the learning process. The ov

erall agenda is set, as far as what I expect students to learn, but how I present the material differs from person to person. I am interested in making sure that the student not only comprehends the lessons, but feels a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Ultimately, my purpose is to help the pupil connect to the music, so that it may become a life-long relationship, whether he/she becomes a professional musician or a music enthusiast.

Veronica is everything you would look for in a piano teacher, talented, professional, and personable...my kids love her! She is patient, kind, and just a really cool woman. My kids enjoy their lessons with her. Veronica has instilled a sense of appreciation for the piano that I think they will take with them forever.

Great Teacher

Sebastian is having an amazing time with his teacher Jarrod. He looks forward to his lessons and practices very hard at home not only because he loves the drums but because he wants to impress his teacher. Jarrod is a smart and very talented instructor, he explains everything well and allows the student to feel comfortable embrace the lessons easily. Sebastian has a blast and grasps everything quickly thanks to Jarrod. He's an amazing musician and Sebastian is very happy and lucky to have him as an instructor.

Great instructor. Jarrod has the ability to get our son completely motivated and makes the experience fun.

About Paul

***My goal as a teacher***

I try to teach what the students are interested in and make it fun and interesting so that they learn the lessons and their favorite songs. Every student is different and needs to be taught in a way that makes learning easy and fun for them.

I have a passion for all people and all ages and am blessed to be able to teach from the very young, (ages 2-5 Toddlermusik lessons) to teens and adults.....all the way to senior citizens. I've had many older students all the way up to a 93 year old gentleman who is taking singing lessons and asked me to put music to his lyrics. We have recorded over 50 songs together.

***Background***

I started playing trumpet in 5th grade and knew that music was for me. I also liked playing with drums and piano also because they seemed exciting. I've competed in WSMA (Wi

sconsin School Music Assoc.) for many years which taught me a lot about performing for judges, being relaxed, and the importance of preparation.

I started playing the guitar and bass guitar when I was 13 and have never stopped practicing and performing since. I also have done a lot of writing, recording, producing, and have a Pro Tools Studio for students to use.

***College and Teaching***

I began teaching music lessons in college and enjoyed it very much. I received my B.A. in Music from the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. There I was very much involved with guitar, piano, voice, trumpet, and being in bands and writing music. After receiving my B.A. I also took 3 years of Education classes at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. I write, produce, and perform my music along with performing with bands around the Midwest.

***Life in Music***

After receiving my B.A. in Music, I continued teaching and opened up my home studio. After a year and a half I had enough students that I was able to quit my factory job and teach music full time. I've been teaching, performing, and writing music ever since.

***Performing and more***

I have been on stage performing music since I was 11. In school band, marching band, competing in music competitions, and in bands touring the Midwest.

I have recorded many CDs with bands and on my own. My most ambitious project was a CD of my original music called, "Girls". I've performed my music and promoted it by being interviewed on Milwaukee radio stations along with internet music sites such as CD Baby. It is very exciting talking on live radio about my music and my passion. It is also even more exciting, and scary, playing my music live on the radio, lol.

Reviews

Extremely knowledgeable. Pays attention to detail and he makes it easy for me to understand. I’m looking forward to my future lessons!

Brian July 23, 2017·Guitar·In studio

I meet Paul about three months ago, While not a complete beginner, I had tried to teach myself thru out the years and picked up a lot of bad habits. Paul helped me to see and fix my habits. Paul is a very qualified teacher, of many instruments, drums, keyboards, guitar, and others. I'm 59 years old, Paul doesn't mind my age, doesn't treat me like I'm too old to learn new stuff. And is more than willing to see me thru complete guitar instruction. Thanks Paul...

About Leidys M.

I taught piano for years looking for a method that was comprehensive, engaging, creative and practical, but I couldn't find it, so I decided to create the Brain-Based Piano Method: a Mindful, Comprehensive Approach to fill this need. It incorporates the latest scientific understanding on how we learn and encourages students to build an understanding of the basic concepts of music, develop the habit of making connections and create their own compositions.

About Leidys

Hi, I love to teach children as young as 3 years old and adults using our own Brain-Based Piano Method, a Mindful and Comprehensive System to learn music and piano that incorporates the latest scientific findings on how we learn. We, my husband and I, started creating this method in 2012 when we could not find a comprehensive method created with today's children needs in mind. We want our students to truly enjoy music making, and to achieve that they need to know what they are doing, they need to learn to understand how music works. We are proud to say that our method is fun, engaging, effective and practical. our students learn from early on the basics of music: ear training, music theory, form, piano technique, reading and writing notes, and more. But more than anything else, we encourage our students to be creative from the very begin

ning. Our method is a complete system for learning the piano that includes books, CDs, rewards, teaching materials, musical story books and video tutorials accessible online. When you Join us, you will become part of a creative and dynamic studio! You will learn how to see the connections present in music and to transfer all that knowledge to other aspects of your lives. I hope to meet you soon to start a very exciting musical learning journey!

Very professional and nice with my daughter Soraya.
We both like her a lot thanks!!

Malice July 1, 2017·Piano·In home

My daughter loves going to piano class, and asks when she is going back. I am amazed by the things that she has learned so quickly, and in such a short period of time. Each class introduces her to something new, or allows her to strengthen her skills in a new way. This method of teaching piano is so innovative because my daughter has learned how to play the right and left hand of a musical score with clapping and body movements. She has also learned to conduct, play with 5 fingers, and sing songs. All of this, and she has only had 4 classes. The connection to math and reading are amazing, and are evident during each moment. Highly recommended.

Gioconda and Ezequiel June 30, 2017·Piano·In studio

Our family experience with Leidys and Mihai was a wonderful one. They know how to incorporate the children into the classroom and made them feel important, which is great for the children's development. They were very kind and loving to my children. They are great people who are generous of their time and knowledge. They look forward to building bonds not only with the children, but also with the whole family. They give tips and suggestions on Music Education. They became friends to us and to my children! We highly recommend them to instill in children the love of Music in all its forms. They also provide piano classes for adults and their method is great!!! Only great things can be said about these amazing and caring teachers!!

Amazing Pianist and instructor, Highly recommend!

I have been taking piano lessons with Izabela for two months now and it has been a great experience so far. I did not have much knowledge about piano so we started with the basics like reading music sheets. She has been very encouraging and patient. At the same time, she continuously challenged me which has helped me to be thorough with my basics.
I definitely recommend Izabela to anyone who wants to learn Piano. Thanks Izabela for making me a better Piano player.

Harry October 1, 2016·Piano·In home

After only 3 piano lessons with Izabela, I can honestly say she is the most patient instructor I've had so far in my three plus years of study. Her 25 or more years of piano experience shows through when she helps me to understand each music piece.

I highly recommend her to other students, no matter if they are beginners, or otherwise, and no matter if the student is adult or a young child. Thank you Izabela for helping me to understand some of the basics so I can become a better piano player. HJ

About Sophie C.

All students learn differently so I focus on catering each lesson to the student's goals. I want the student to have fun, feel comfortable, and also be productive in our lessons. Students can expect to learn the foundations of piano including scales and key signatures, while also learning new songs that they want to be able to play. Ultimately, my goal is to have students develop their love for music.

About Sophie

Sophie has been teaching piano lessons both privately and in a group setting since the summer of 2009. She is available to teach you either online, or at your home.

Sophie received her Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Composition from the Manhattan School of Music in 2012, with a minor in Piano. Sophie is currently pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter.

Sophie looks forward to helping you reach your musical goals and understands that the approach to teaching is different for every student. With her classical background as well as jazz influences, Sophie looks forward to working hard with you while having fun. Some lesson topics might include: learning how to play a song YOU love, learning fun chord progressions, and understanding how to get better at playing piano.

Emese February 20, 2018·Harp·Online

I enjoyed my first harp lesson with Liudmila so much! She is a very sweet lady, and a very patient, knowledgable, and professional teacher. She taught me the correct posture and hand positions at the first lesson. I was struggeling with the hand positions first, but she didn't mind to explain them to me over and over again. She also plaid some tunes to me, and I could tell that she is an awsome harpist. I am very glad that I can learn from her. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn from a professional harpist.

Excellent professional harpist who taught me how to replace two strings and taught me how to tune my lever harp at first lesson. Very excited to continue my lessons with her.

About Joe G.

Want to learn how to play your favorite songs? Read music? Want a solid foundation in music theory? We will get a good idea of where you want to be and get you there. I'm a full time musician who has been writing, producing, and recording music for the better part of about 15 years. We can work on songwriting, recording/mixing music at home, learning songs, or whatever it is you're passionate about doing. Shoot me a message and we'll see if it's a good fit!

About Joe

I am a full time keyboardist and guitarist in the Metro Detroit area with a wealth of experience writing, recording, and playing live.

I studied classical piano for about 10 years with a private instructor. These days, I gig with multiple bands, play for a local church, and also perform my own electronic music live. I self produce my own electronic music and have had it featured in documentaries, shorts, and commercials.

In addition to playing music, I have deep knowledge about recording equipment, software, and modern music making tools like Ableton Push, Maschine, and other hardware synthesizers/drum machines, etc. When I am not playing music myself, I am working with other artists on their material. Part of our music instruction can certainly include help with writing and recording your own music. This is YOUR journey.

To p

ut it plainly, I am obsessed with writing and playing music and hope to get someone else just as excited about it as I am!

Review by Mercedes Calderon

"David is starting to teach my 9 year old daughter who has a learning disability. He is very kind and patient with her. His techniques of teaching a child

the piano is very good. I am very pleased. We will continue to take more lessons and I can not wait to see the progress."

Review by Cosette

"David Wettrich has such a gift and passion when it comes to music. Not only does he work very hard to make each piece he plays the best it can be, but he

has an innate sense of how to get it there. This is particularly true when it comes to playing by ear. He learns many pieces by ear and then makes them unique by how he interprets them when he plays. But the greatest thing I see about his musical skills is how he wants to be able to share the joy of music with others. And especially how he wants to play for the glory of God."

Beaufort, SC teacher:

Review by Eric

"Went over basics I knew with the first lesson, but now that he has, the basics I knew are now better instilled. I can look at any note and within a second

find out which letter and octave it corresponds to on both piano and sheet music. After that he got me to use my hands faster and more accurately by practicing scales. As if his teaching methods weren't good enough, he also has a really flexible schedule. If you are unable to make a lesson, just give a 24 hour notice and he can shift the lessons down a week. The only nuance that I've experienced is that he asks me a few times to change my schedule. I can't complain, since it was a choice though, one that he asks if its ok and then goes forth with it. Much better than tutors for academic subjects I've had, and much better than my Guitar teacher in public school. 3 years of guitar case two weeks with piano, and I feel much comfortable on piano than on guitar already!"
